Under the name Eric Blair.

I went looking for “our” democracy but I couldn’t find it anywhere. The media is the Empire’s propaganda department, elections are pieces of Kabuki theatre designed to bamboozle the proles, and power-obsessed thieves, liars, torturers, and killers run the show.
This is hardly a new development. The exaggerated outrage and affected surprise every time the establishment’s crooked and devious ways are exposed is getting boring. Surveillance, manipulation, and deception (and lying about it at every turn) are part and parcel of full-spectrum dominance. Surely we all know this by now so what’s with the “OMG they are threatening our democracy [sic]” routine?
Is it, not time to admit that “our” democracy is as good as dead and won’t be resurrected until we get angry or desperate enough to take the fight to those who are killing it?
The internet has a way of making interaction with a digital device feel like something more…but until we are compelled to take action in the physical world we are just 21st-century armchair revolutionaries… all talk and no action. No revolution happens without risk, sacrifice, and, usually, violence and repression. In this brave new internet era, we can’t even muster enough energy and motivation to take to the streets and demand the UK government release, Julian Assange.
Anyone who believes the fight against global capitalism can be fought and won passively while sitting in a coffee shop and tinkering on a Five Eyes infiltrated communication device is sadly deluded.
Until we in the West rally around a vision that can replace the current political and economic order there won’t even be a revolution. In the absence of a viable alternative to replace it, the present dysfunctional system will live on, becoming increasingly repressive as sporadic chaos and violence erupt from a restive population under immense social and economic pressure.
The decline can be a lengthy and bitter process and only we the people can put a halt to it. No wise and glorious leader or sympathetic foreign power will fight our battles for us.
